Effective application of whole-cell devices in synthetic biology and biocatalysis will always
require consideration of the uptake of molecules of interest into the cell. Here we …

Expression of the alkane degradation pathway encoded in the OCT plasmid of
Pseudomonas putida GPo1 is induced in the presence of alkanes by the AlkS regulator, and …

Expression of the alkane degradation pathway encoded by the OCT plasmid of
Pseudomonas putida GPo1 is regulated by two control systems. One relies on the …

Metabolically versatile bacteria usually perceive aromatic compounds and hydrocarbons as
non‐preferred carbon sources, and their assimilation is inhibited if more preferable …

Pseudomonas putida KT2440 contains a branched aerobic respiratory chain with multiple
terminal oxidases. Their relative proportion varies according to environmental conditions …

Expression of the genes of the alkane degradation pathway encoded in the Pseudomonas
putida OCT plasmid are subject to negative and dominant global control depending on the …

Summary n‐Alkanes are ubiquitous in nature and serve as important carbon sources for
both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria. Hydroxylation of n‐alkanes by alkane …

Summary The potential of LacI/Ptrc, XylS/Pm, AlkS/PalkB, CprK/PDB3 and ChnR/PchnB
regulatory nodes, recruited from both Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive bacteria, as the …

In many microorganisms the first step for alkane degradation is the terminal oxidation of the
molecule by an alkane hydroxylase. We report the characterization of a gene coding for an …

Background Alkanes are important components of fossil energy, such as crude oil. The
alkane monooxygenase encoded by alkB gene performs the initial step of alkane …
